Among the reasons why the working men should now prefer procuring the repeal of the Corn-laws to agitation on behalf of the People's Charter, we place first and foremost the fact that the former is a demand • fur justice—the latter a demand for something which is suopoged to he expedient. Not that we deny the abstract right of every man in the community to have . a voice comm•;:usurat e to his talents and knowledge in makin g the laws ; not that we deny that any principle of exclusion v:lnitcyer may virtually absolve the indi viduals excluded from all obligations of allegiance ; but the whole schem e of *political organization is a question of expediency, including of course the for mation of the Legislature, over which, we will be hold • to say, the experience of every day tends to convince mankind political science has, as vet, shed but a feeble and glimmering light. We can assert positively and certainly that the Corn-laws—being a tax levied on the food of the people to enrich one Class—are a gross violation of the right of property, which involves, too, a gross violation of the I freedom of industry, to protect which right political society is organised ; but we cannot say, as the whole scheme of political organisation is a question of expe diency about which men disagree, that to exclude some men from the particular function of electing Members of the House of Commons, is any more a k violation of justice, of property, or of freedom, than • to make only some men Peers, and to have only 658 Members of the House of Commons. In the case of Universal Suffrage, those who demand it have to de monstrate its expediency ; which, as we yesterday said, is denied by the largest and most influential por tion of the community : in the case of the Corn-laws their gross injustice needs no demonstration, and those • who uphold them have the difficult task to perform of proving the beauty of crime and the utility of plunder. There being this essential differen ce between the two questions, the light in which they are regarded by society is also essentially different. t h ose w ho are favourable to the Pop The wh o l e o f People's Charter are also favourable to the repeal of •the Corn-laws. But, instead of all the rest of society opposing the repeal o f they oppoze the People' s Ch arter, the Corn-laws a s the greater number of the merchants, manufacturers, and monied capitalists, with all the shopkeepers above ten-pounders, not immediately con nected with land, are favourable to the repeal o f the Corn-laws, and on that o i i ti t i h e the aelv c a et ess. subject would co-operate cordially wo of the People's Charter, to whom,ra guess • tion, they would be fiercely opposed . The one ques tion unites almost all the other classes in opposition to the landlords and the tithe-owners ; the other question unites all the other classes .oppo sition to the Chartists. On the one question, • if the Chartists are wise, there is almost a certainty of immediate success ; on the other as great certainty of immediate defeat, and but a very r A rrired feeble hope of success a few years hence. If, there ore, the repeal of the Corn-laws would be far less lymeticial than we think it, we should still say it is the part of prudent men to secure that benefit which is within their reach, and not waste their time and strength by a fruitless contest.• If, indeed, the repeal of the Corn-laws would place an obstacle in the Way of the Chartists, we should not dare to recommend it to them ; but it would do more to further their ultimate success than any other measure they can possibly adopt. If this were not so, we should, as the practical ad mirers of the great principle of the sovereignty of the ' people, nevertheletsaffirm that thequestion which united the great majority of suffrages in its favour—if it had not Universal Suffrage—which provoked the least opposi tion, ought to be embraced. We should then think that one individual opinion ought to be sacrificed to the gene ral view, and that it would not only be expedient to en deavour to procure the repeal of the Corn-laws, because our exertions were likely to be crowned with success, hut because it is at all times politically right, on ,the democratic creed, that the views of a great majority should prevail over those of a narrow section.• The Chartists, who are obstinately attached to their own recently formed political views, are like the narrow and limited Doctrinaires of the French school, who deny the possibility of political welfare, except by acting on their precise dogmas. In fact, they are bigots in poli tics, who would reduce all other men to their own dwarfish standard. To act with them is to lay down a narrow principle of exclusion, and substitute the immediate will of the few for the immediate will of the many. To go for the repeal of the Corn-laws would invite all classes into the ranks of the people ; and great respectability, as well as great numbers, would be added to them. Most likely the Liberal capitalists, and many of the proprietary classes who stand aloof from the Chartists, would be eager to unite with the people, and guide them in their exertions to procure the repeal of the Corn-laws, as the means of leading the people away from doctrines inimical, as they conceive, to the peace of society. We should as strongly recommend that policy to them, as we recommend the working classes to go first for a repeal of the Corn-laws. That alone we believe can give the capitalists safety. They cannot prosper in hostility to the working classes, and it is as much their interest now to unite with the working , classes to put an end to the Corn-laws, as it is their in terest to oppose the scheme of the Charter. The prin ciple of union, the principle of democracy,.the prin ciple of kindness and of brotherly love, all unite in re commending the repeal of the Corn-laws in preference to Universal Suffrage and the Vote by Ballot. Not to allow our readers to rise with a very incom plete notion of the advantage of the repeal of the Corn laws, we must add, that the insuring us hereafter cheap bread, and plenty of it—that opening new channels for trade—that extending the employment of our people—that strengthening our commercial and friendly relations with other countries—and that spreading abundance and joy through all the manu facturing districts, are only a small portion of the benefits which would result from the unconditional repeal of the Corn-laws. That repeal would abate the pride as well as the wealth of the landed aristo-. cracy. It would prove that they have nothing out ' what they obtain by this sort of legal plunder. Half the immoral examples they now set would disappear with their arrogance and their bubble wealth. Mora lity as well as trade would he benefited by putting an end to injustice. The repeal would, as we have ex plained, throw the Church wholly on thelandowners for support. It would bring their selfishness into open conflict with the selfishness of the priesthood, and those two classes, now united to oppress us, would quarrel with each other,and give the people an easy and a sure victory over the two chief enemies of social improvement. They would show each other to the world in their true colours, and honest men would be benefited by the rogues' quarrel. The consequence of that, we believe, would be, to make the landlords instrumental in over turning the Established priesthood; and if they were to be overturned, what an immense mass of hypocrisy and moral fraud would be at once sti uck to the ground. The whole revenues of the Church are now a perpetual bounty for men to profess a belief in a certain law prescribed set of dogmas, whether they are con vinced of their truth or not ; and these reve nues are also a perpetual bounty to enforce a belief on the people in the same dogmas. If we did not know the effects of such a sygtem, it is plain that devoting a large portion of the annual na tional produce to the belief in any dogmas, must give rise to hypoctisy. Our land is overrun with cant and hypocrisy, and the great majority of that would disap pear should the Established priesthood low their revenues, as we believe they speedily would, by the re peal of the Corn-lAws. If Universal Suffrage were in existence to-morrow, we cannot conceive anything it could achieve of greater general utility than the abolition of the Corn-laws, which has for us the ad ditional recommendation that it would sweep away several Statutes, while the Charter, whatever might be its ultimate effects, would, in the first instance, add another long and complicated law to the mul titude with which we are already encumbered. The abolition of the Corn-laws is a certain step in the right path ; the establishment of the Charter, though at present not to be achieved, is at best of doubtful utility. Our respected correspondent " Humanity'' has sent us another letter on the treatinew of persons insane, or presumed to he insane, which will be found in another column. We have not space to-day for any observat:ons on madhouse practices, brought so prominently before the public by the inhuman treat ment experienced the other day by Mr. PATERNOS TER ; but we shall not lose sight of the subject. We beg the attention of readers to the Reports of certai n Church-rate proceedings, which they will find in another part of our paper. T he transactions e at Bun gay an d at D ur h am m utually illustrate each o Bungay. Co u ld a severeeoChurch-rate Law been more No where rigidly enforced, the odious administration , than in tohfethpaatrislof law — so severe, indeed, as to amount to th e most malignant and cruel persecution f or consc i ence sa ke known in mo dern times—have stopped the progress of resistance, and reconciled the people to the arbitrary exercise of ecclesiastical oppression, in aid of ecclesiastical cupidity, not a whisper would now have been heard against the payment of the Church-tax. But what has the actual result been ? In this said parish of Bungay even, where the nearest approach to the example of the Inquisition has been made—where the dungeon has been resorted to as an instrument, if not of conversion from the errors, at all events of punish ment for the sin, of dissent—what has been the result in this stronghold of bigotry ? Has opposition to Church -rates ceased ?Is it even mitigated ? Has a single convert been made to the Church, or a single enemy disarmed of his resentment towards the Establishment? Quite the contrary. The feeling of aversion to the established system has been increased —embittered to an incalculable and irreconcileable degree; and to crown all, after so many scandalous seizures and forfeitures of private property, the eccle siastical authorities find themselves losers even in a pecuniary point of view ! The lessons of experience are the most valuable of all lessons; and we trust that both Churchmen and Dissen. ~ 4W jC.f ters will profit by those which the agitation of the Church. rate question is calculated to teach. The Churchman must see, from the results of this agitation at Bungay, in the cathedral city of Durham, and at multitudes of other places which it is needless to specify, that the Church has nothing to gain, but everything to lose, by continuing to set herself in opposition to the abolition of an impost which is not only unjust in itself, but hateful to a large portion of her own com ' munity, as well as to the whole body of Dissenters. Let the Dissenter also bear in mind that if he be zea lous and persevering in his hostility to the tax laid upon his conscience—if he act, as every conscien tious man ought to act in matters where religious prin ciple is concerned—if he refuse to compromise his in tegrity by submitting to the payment of an unrighteous and irreligious tax, choosing rather " the spoiling of his goods"—then he is sure of coming off victorious from this struggle. The Correspondent of a Morning Contemporary, in a letter of Thursday's date, from Bayonne, estimate s the loss of the Christinos, before Morella, at 200 mcn killed, and from 800 to 900 wounded. General ORAA, had declared that he would again attack Morella, th e instant his troops were provided with the necessary sup plies for carrying on a siege. According to the Barce lona Journals, received to the 27th ult., the factions of CABRERA, FORCADELL, and LLANGOSTERA, had suddenly marched in the direction of Valencia. Had it not been for the prompt assistance of the crew of a British man-of-war, lying off, that station, i t was generally believed that the Carlists would have taken the city of Valencia on the 24th. The following extract from a letter from Madrid, which appears in the Commerce of Sunday, though not so late by one day as the accounts from the Spanish capital received in Loudon yesterday, is important, as announcing positive indications of a change in the Cabinet : " To-day a change in the members of the Cabinet is spoken of, and General Castanos has, it is said, been sent for to give his opinion on public affairs. " Public opinion is expressed more forcibly on account of this check, and the result which is hoped for of the Commission sent to Paris about the loan is impatiently expected. The Treasury is empty, and has no hopes of finding any resources. The Bank of St. Ferdinand is not able to provide for the wants of the Government. Funds have been failing. Just as lam closing my letter, lam assured that the Minister at War has laid before her Majesty the re signation of General Oraa, which the Queen laid on the table. She immediately sent for Count d'Ofalia. Her Ma jesty said to him, Here is another General who tenders I resignation.' The Minister is said to have replied, The Ministry, Madame, likewise tenders its resignation.' The mail is just setting out. My information does not enable me to say any more." The Moniteur of Sunday, which we have received, tociether with the other Paris Journals of the same date, contains telegraphic despatches from Brest and Perpignan, the former announcing the sailing of the expedition against Mexico on the Ist inst., and the latter communicating to the Minister of War the sentence of the Court-Martial appointed to try General BROSSARD on various charges of malversation in Africa. The despatch from Brest runs as follows : " The Nereide frigate, the Creole corvette, and the Cuirassier brig, commanded respectively by Captains Turpin,' his Royal Highness the Prince de Joinville, and Count de' Gaurdon, sailed from Brest harbour on the Ist of September. Admiral Baudin has hoisted his flats on board the Nereide. He proceeds in the first instance to 'Cadiz, where he will be joined by the Gloire and Medee frigates. The squadron will proceed thence to Mexico, where the Admiral will take the Command-in-Chief of the naval force employed in the blockade of the ports of that republic." As the trial of General BROSSARD originated in a petition from the natives of Africa to the French dhamber of Deputies, which at the time of its Fe sentation caused a great excitement in Paris, we sub join the following condensed report of it, copied from the columns of a Morning Contemporary : The Marquis of Brossard was born in 1784, and served all the campaigns from 1807 to the peace. He commanded iu the province of Oran under General Bugeaud, Etnd was at first highly recommended by that General for his zeal, facility of managing the Arabs, and other good qualities. But in a little time General Bugeaud 'discovered that de Brossard was in league with the Jew durillid, who had engaged to supply Tlemeeen with fresh provisions. The money for them Was furnished to M. de Brossard by the French Go vernment, who shared it with Durand; and in the mean time he procured cattle and corn from Ab-del- Kader fur the supply of Tlemecen, as the ransom of the Arab prisoners in the hands of the French. These bad been ordered to be restored, of course without cost to the Emir; whereas Ge neral de Brossard•did neither more nor less than sell them. It was for this chiefly that General Bugeaud denounced General de Brossard to the War Minister at home. Du rand, the accomplice of de Brossard, when questioned, betrayed all the turpitude of the latter; and revealed, more over, that he had proposed going over and taking service with the Emir, and had charged Durand to procure for him, as the price of his desertion, 8,000/. in hand and 2,000/. a year for his family. Such an act of madness on the part of a French General in command, and in so good a position that he was strongly recommended as the successor of General Bugeaud, would seem incredible, had he not confessed it to Geoeral Bugeaud in the hearing of two witnesses. This, and indeed several acts of De Brossard, would lead to the supposi. tion that he was not in his right senses. The accusation consisted of few counts —I. Of em bezzling the public money; 2. Of seeking to corrupt public functionaries; 3. Of meddling, as functionary, with affairs incompatible with his office ; 4. Of a conspiracy to arm the inhabitants against the royal authority. After hearing the witnesses and General de Brossard him self, the Court set aside the fourth accusation of treason, as well as the first and second, which would have entailed severe penalties, but found him guilty on the third, sentencing him to punishment rather - severe for the crime of merely meddling with what did not concern him, and only applicable to one really guilty of the first article of the accusation. General de Brossard was declared by the Court Martial incapable of fill ing any public function, and was condemned to six months' imprisonment, 800 francs fine, and the expenses. The inter rogatory of General Brossard during the trial merely contains his denial of every charge. -On Saturday, the KING and QUEEN, Madame ADELAIDE, the Prince CLEMENTINE and one of the yuung Princes left Paris for the Chateau of Eu, in Normandy, where they will remain for some weeks. The rest of the Royal Family are expected to follow them as soon as the Duchess of ORLEANS IS suffi ciently recovered to bear the fatigue of travelling. Both the Duchess and her infant are so Well that no bulletins of health are published. The French Ministerial Press supports the policy of the Government with respect to the expulsion of Prince Louis NAPOLEON from the Swiss territory. The justice or injustice of the demand is lost sight of in the pompously paraded power of France to enforce it, backed as she is by petty but E v o en bt t r l u ie siv K e in ii g ifl o t f ien S c A e R in D to iN t i b A e b h the Representatives of Austria, P russ i a , an d Ba rtiilnattel7asst e b d i tibnerttioi e a a l 6 a n t c h e r o a ‘ ; a n i hisn t the independence of the Swiss F e d era l G overnmen t. amicable fr from settlementabstained o l f ' h t e h i only q t e P s e i part with France is Great Britain. W e pretend not to know the sentiments of our Cabinet with respect to it, neither can we tell what course it is proposed to take in the event of the adoption of hostile proceedings by either of the principals in this quarrel ; but, certain we are, that the public voice here is loudly expressed in favour of the independence of Switzerland. France could adopt no proceeding more s t rong ly ca l cu l a t e d to ruin the popularity of her Government in En g land than that which she is now pursuing. Tar ste a m e r at Fal- By the arrival of th e Royal mouth, on Sunday, we have received Lisbon papers to the 28th ult. inclusive. As -far as could then be as certained, the elections promised to give an absolute majority to the ultra-Liberal party. It was at first re ported - that the Charti sts would be tri umphant , b ut, to the great delight of the Constitutionalists, there no longer appears to be any chalice of this. The finances of the country are improving, and with the finances public credit. The following letter has been addressed by the younger REMECIIIDO to Captain NEUTEL, in answer to one . from that officer, offering him a free pardon provided he would lay down his arms and ac knowledge the QUEEN'S authority : " M. NEUTEL—I have read your polite letter, and beg to state in reply to its contents, that the manner in which the provinces of the so.called Evora Monte Convention have been kept is engraved in the memory of every Portuguese, and the amnesty of 1835 is well remembered by me, because, but for my caution upon that occasion, I should have enjoyed that peace in the other world which my late father now feels. I perceive that you offer me your protection, but if it has been of no avail to the author of my existence, what reliance can I place in the said protection ? Promises made by the Libe rals, arguments and assurances given by drunkards and gam bler's vows, deserve all the same credit at my hands. If the fate of men was within the controul of other men, I might fear your threats ; but as that entirely arts on the will of a God whom you, the Liberals, do not believe in, but out of whose power you cannot fly, I trust to escape your evil fore bodings, and whenever your, anticipations should be realised, why then I die by the grasp of dogs, but in defence of the law of the Omnipotent. Do you understand me, M. Neutel ? Now, as to my family, remember the reprisals of Cabrera in Spain ; for each of my family whom you may ill-treat, ten of yours shall suffer the same fate, and it will be thus that I shall show you that I am (Signed) " MANOEL DA GRACA REIS REMECHIDO, " Brevet Major Cavalry, No. 2, Adjutant-General.

Meat—Beef 74d. to 83d. ; Mutton 71d. to Bd. ; Ve d Bd. to 9d. ; Pork 7id. to sici. per lb. Plenty of Vegetables, and prices moderate. No variation in Hay or Clover. FISH MARKET. The supplies to-day were to a fair extent, and prices much as yesterday. Turbot, ss. to 15s. and I6s. ; Soles, 6d. to 2s. 6d. per pair ; Lobsters, 9d. to 23. 6d. each; Cod, Is. and 2s. to ss. and Bs. ; Salmon, Bd. to Is. per lb. ; Whiting, 3d. and Bd. ; Haddock, sd. to Is. HAY-MARKETS. There was a fair supply, and a fair demand. Prices much as before. Old Meadow 955. to 115 s. ; New ditto 70s. to 955. Old Clover 115 s. to 1325. ; New ditto 85s. to 110 s. Straw 40s. to 455. per load. DRYSALTERY MARKET. In Indigo there is but very little stirring in the face of the approaching public sale, for which 10,500 chests are declared. Brimstone is 101. ss. for best rough. Jamaica Logwood is 81. 10s. Saltpetre is looking up. TALLOW-MARKET. P.Y.C. has now advanced to 505., on tho spot and for delivery. COLONIAL MARKETS. There is not much doing to-day in this market, and prices remain.very uniform with past quotations. B. P. Sugar, owing to the late large arrivals, sells slowly at the -prices of last week, say from 49s 6d to 625, according to quality. The Refined market continues very flat, and without any novelty. FineiCrushed is 33s 6d. To-day we had a public sale of 469 bags Mauritius Sugar, 2,300 Manilla, and 855 Bengal. For mer prices ruled the sales generally, but where altered they were easier. Tea is very quiet. Coffee, 152 cks. B. P., realised firm prices, and sold with spirit, which prices are 925. to 1319., according to quality. Coffee appears to be about the only article that now goes with much spirit in the market for East and West India produce. Ginger, 50 casks, and Pimento 20 bags, fetched previous rates, the latter 3d. to 4d. per lb. For to-morrow we have public sales for 1,500 bags Saltpetre; 20 barrels Ginger, (Jamaica) ; 350 of Barbadoes and 120 bags Cocoa B. P. These are all for to-morrow. The Imports of Colonial pro duce are heavy just now ; and the market never was more sober than it is at the present moment. LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, SEPT. 3. Our Cotton Market was very dull to-day, and buyers had a slight advantage as regards prices. The sales effected were limited, only 2,500 bags having met with purchasers. 600 Bahia at Sid. to 84d. ; 200 Surat at 44d. to sd. ; 1,700 Ame rican at 50. to 7:l‘d. MANCHESTER CORN MARKET, SEPT. 1. The past week has been one of inactivity and depression, and though holders of every artic►e would willingly have acceded to any reasonable reduction in prices, the business done has been on the most limited scale. The consuming part of the trade are determined to await the release of the bonded stock of Wheat and Flour ; they are, however, generally low in stock, and we shall probably have a revival of demand in a week or two. The weather throughout the week has been cool, but, on the whole, favourable to harvest operations which are general in the southern and midland counties, and are beginning partially in this and the northern district. The Liverpool- and Wakefield markets were both lower yesterday for all free produce, with but little business doing. Our market to day calls for no particular addition to the preceding observations. Foreign Wheat and Four were held at last week's rates, but we reduce our quotations for free Wheat of all descriptions 4d. per bushel ; Flour 4s. to ss. per sack ; Oats, 21 per bushel ; Oatmeal, 3s. per load ; Barley, 6d. per bushel ; Beans, ls. per quarter ; and Malt, ls. per load. New Oatmeal, 325. pr load.

On Wednesday the Bth ult. a number of people were attracted to the edge of the Quay by the cries of a child which had fallen into the water, and was seen floating past. Much to the praise of a gentleman who happened to be d wit ness of the perilous situation of the poo r c hild, h e se i zed a rope from a porter, and, directing him to hold the end of it, threw himself over the Quay, and succeeded in saving the life of the helpless babe. The gentleman, we have heard, was Mr. Nicolson of the Customs.---Aberdeen Herald. We regret to state that on Monday last Andrew Sheriff.;, carrier between Aberdeen and Handy, was accident.. ally killed on the road, within three miles of the latter place. His horse had taken fright, and in the hurry of running for ward to catch the reins, the unfortunate man fell, and the cart wheel passed over his body. The deceased was a young un married man. A mushroom of the genuine sort was gathered last Saturday at Little Saxham, which measured no less than 33 inches in circumference, and was in the highest state of per fection. —Essex Herald. A severe thunder storm passed over the village of Wroxham, Norfolk, on the evening of Tuesday last, end a woman by the name of Roach, the wife of a schoolmaster, was struck dead by the lightning, as she was putting her child to bed. No further damage was done, except a small hole made in the roof. In the next house the hair on the head of some children was singed b y t h e li g h tning, without their sustaining any further injury.—Norfolk Chronicle, THE LATE DUEL ON WIMBLEDON- COMMON. ADJOURNED INQUEST.-THIS DAY. The Coroner and Jury met this morning for the third time for the purpose of inquiring into the circumstances attending the death of Mr. Charles Flower Mirtin. In consequence of a report that some of the parties had been' taken into custody, the affair had assumed more interest, acid the inquest-room at the Tankard was crowded by gentlemen, amongst whom we saw Mr. Lawson, the Clerk of the Peace for the county. We understood that Mr. Scott; the surgeon, had offered to come forward and give all the evidence in his power, provided he was guaranteed from harm. It was also stated that the relations of the deceased made application to the authorities at the Home Office for the same grace. being extended to Mr. Broughton, the deceased's second, when he would return fromlis exile and do the same, but it was peremptorily refused. . _ The Court having been formally opened, the first witness produced was Robert Matthews, the waiter at the saloon—Was in the employment of Mr. Goodered, at 222, Piccadilly. He knew nothing of the affair except a quarrel between some gentlemen, which was not unfrequent. On the night of this day fort night there was a quarrel between some gentlemen, of whom he only knew one by name ;it was Elliot The quarrel took place about two o'clock on the morning of Wednesday. He did not know anything of the origin of the quarrel, nor any exchange of cards. He did not hear that any parties had ex changed cards, and were about to fight a duel in respect of the quarrel. He knew a gentleman named Broughton, but not his Christian name. He and Elliot were in company together that night. He saw them in conversation, and thought it was them that had quarrelled. He positively denied knowing any thing of the origin of the quarrel, and had not seen any of the parties since. Did not know either Mr. Young or Mr. Gotobed personally or by name. Did not see either them or Mr. Robert Newman that nigh!, and he did not know the de ceased. There were females in the room, but not in their company. He did not know Mr. Mirfin, and therefore he could not say that he frequently met any female in the saloon. By a Juryman—Quarrels were very frequent in the saloon, and they took little notice of them. He considered the house a well-conducted one. They kept open till two o'clock, and admitted any person who was respectably dressed. He had served gentlemen so late as four or five o'clock. By the CORONER— He did not know any person named Flowers. Was perfectly sure that he did not. Did not know that the deceased sometimes went by that name, nor was he aware that under that name he was in the habit of meeting a female in the saloon. Joseph Holt, the second waiter in Feuillade's Hotel—A party of gentlemen breakfasted at their house on Wednesday last ; they were Messrs. Elliot, Young, and Webber. Mr. Elliot and Mr. Young were lodgers. Webber arrived to breakfast with the others at eleven o'clock. They were joined at breakfast by a gentleman whom he did not know. He be lieved they all left the hotel together. They breakfasted in the coffee-room, and he heard no talk of a duel. Mr. Young returned the same evening ; Mr. Elliot did not. He saw a barouche standing at the door; he did not see them get into it, nor did he see any carpet-bag in their possession that day. Young returned about seven or eight o'clock next evening ; next day he paid his bill and went away. He did not sleep in the house that night, but paid his bill and sent for his things next morning. Mr. Elliot sent for his luggage on the Wednesday evening, Mr. Young the next morning. Mr. Elliot had on a Newmarket cut brown coat. He did not take particular notice of their dress. Henry Hunt, the billiard-table maker, of Broad-street, Golden-square—Knew a gentleman named Elliot, and had seen gentlemen who were pointed out to him as Young and Webber. Mr. Elliot spelt his name Eliot. He knew it, but had not seen him write. On Tuesday he did not see Mr. Eliot, but on Wednesday morning he saw him early, and had conversation with him, but not in any way connected with a .duel. It was at the Collonade Hotel. After he and Mr. Eliot had settled their business, when he went into the coffee room he saw the gentlemen who had been pointed out to him as Mr. Young and Mr. Webber. The name of Eliot was Francis Lionel Eliot. He did not know the Christian name of Young nor that of Webber. He did not hear one word of the duel. When he went into the room he found three gentlemen at breakfast. While he was waiting for Mr. Eliot, Mr. Broughton walked into the room, and sat down at the table with a very cool manner—a peculiarly cool one for hint, as he was a hearty young man. No conversa tion took place between him and the gentlemen who were at breakfast. Shortly after Mr. Eliot came down and drew wit ness into the passage, where they were joined by Young and Webber. The three gentlemen were Young, Webber, and a young gentleman with sandy hair, whom he did not know. He left all the parties in the Collonade. The business he had with Mr. Eliot was not finished, and was to be resumed at four o'clock, when, if he was not settled with, he threat ened to take proceedings against him. At about a quer ter. to four o'clock, Mr.- Webber called upon him, and put off the business till the next morning, which he was very glad of as he (Mr. Webber) promised to get him a settlement. He thought he had seen Mr. Webber since, in Regent-street, but witness was then in a shop, and could not be certain of the person. He was certain that not a word was said about a duel in his presence, nor did he know anything of it until atter it had taken place. Thomas Gotobcd was then called and told by the Coroner that his name had been mentioned in the proceedings, and of course he would say nothing that might tend to crimi nate himself. 'With that caution he was sworn, and deposed— I am a proctor, living at 82, Bedford-street, G: eat Russell street Bloomsbury. I know Mr. Eliot. I was at the Saloon on the Tuesday night previous to the duel. I did not know the deceased. No quarrel took place in my presence. I don't think 1 saw Mr. Eliot at the Saloon, although he left my house on the Tuesday evening with the intention of going there. I had dined with him that day at my own house, with Mr. Webber and Mr. Young. Mr. Eliot and Mr. Young left my house together about eleven o'clock. I drove Mr. Webber down to the Saloon in my cab, and understood that Young and Eliot were going there. We left directly after them. I saw Mr. Young at the Saloon on arriving there, but did not see Mr. Eliot. I remained there about ten minutes ; did not return. Upon my oath no quarrel, while I was there took place between Mr. Eliot or any other person. I did not know Mirfin. I have not seen either of the parties since that night. I know nothing, of my own knowledge, about the duel. Indeed, I did not know there had been any quarrel. By the Jury—l never heard of Mr. Eliot having thrown a gentleman from his gig, who was r e turning from Epsom Races. I went to the Colonnae 'Hotel on Wednesday night, and the waiter told me Mr. Young and Mr. Eliot had gone out of town, but I knew nothing whatever of the duel. By the CORONER—Mr. Eliot lately wore a coat called a " Taglioni," of brown colour, lined with velvet. I think, the last day or two that I saw him, he wore plaid trowsers. I did not notice his waistcoat. He always wore a stock—at least he has done so for some time. He always wore double pins and a gold chain. After waiting for above an hour for the appearance of Mr. Scott, upon an application by one of the Jury, the Coroner adjourned the Inquest for a quarter of an hour, to enable the Jury to take some refreshment. After an absence of about 20 minutes, the Jury returned, and in a quarter of an hour afterwards Ins vector Field intro duced Mr. Scott. Mr. Scott was then handed a chair, and he seated himself near the table. The CORONER—Have you any objection, Mr. Scott, to state what you know respecting thi3 unfortunate affair? Mr. Scott—l am not here for you to put questions to me, but I have no objection to make a voluntary statement of my own. The CORONER—You are not bound to say anything while you are here. You may let the matter stand as it now does, or you may give any information you please relating_ to it. It is entirely at your option to do so, hut it is my duty to tell you that you are not bound to answer any question that may tend to criminate yourself. Mr. Scott—Very good. The night before the occurrence took place I was with Mr. Mirfin. The CORONER—Then do you wish to give any information ? Mr. Scott—Oh, yes ; I have no objection to make a volun tary statement. The CORONER—Your name then, Sir, if you please? Mr. Scott—My name is Edward Scott. lam a surgeon, residing at 32, Rockingham row, New Kent-road. Mr. Scott then went on to say, that on Tuesday fortnight he dined with the deceased and Mr. Broughton, at his resi dence in Pleasant-place. He remained with him till between 11 and 12 o'clock. Deceased and Mr. Broughton left before that, leaving witness alone. He did not know the Christian name of Mr. Broughton. On leaving, Mr. Mirfin promised to return in half an hour ; he did not, and witness left. Went home, and sat up till between four and five o'clock reading. On Wednesday, about one o'clock, Mr. Broughton came to see him in his bed-room, and said Mr. Mirfin was particularly anxious to see him immediately. He accompanied Mr. Broughton to Mr. Mirfin's house, where they all breakfasted together, and deceased said he wished witness to accompany him to Wimbledon Common, and said—" Take everything you think may be required; be there at six o'clock in the evening, without fail." He perfectly well understood what he was to bring. He then sent his servant for his horse and chaise ; when it came, he and Mr. Broughton went out, and said he would return in an hour. This was about half-past two o'clock. He did not return till a little after five, when he came to bis cottage, accompanied by Mr. Broughton, when we all left together. I went with Mr. Broughton in the gig, de ceased walking to the Elephant and Castle. Deceased then got into the gig, and I got into the cab and drove on to Wim bledon. We drove on till we came to Wandsworth, when the gig was a little before me. Mr. Mirfin called at an inn there, and asked for two glasses of ale. When I got up, I saw and spoke to Mr. Mirfin. They then left, and I fol lowed them on to Wimbledon. On the right hand side of the Common I saw a carriage, vihich we passed. Im mediately Mr. Broughton got out of the gig, and spoke to one of those from the carriage. Mr. Broughton drove the gig down. After the conversation with the gentleman, Mr. Broughton got into tlee gig and drove round about a quarter of a mile, when they came to the tr. ill. I followed in the cab and met the carriage, and all drove up to the hill. On arriving there I saw a gentleman's cab and fonr gentlemen standing together. I had never seen any of them before. I spoke to Mr. Mirftn, and I and said, " You wait here till Mr. Broughton returns." At that time I had every reason to believe tl n ia a tl:_l , Aii:lilriofit, jo when th ey Mirfin was abo u t ui to fight a duel. They went two and two down the I.'" followed the four.

Mr. Mirfin, before we left his house, expresse wish that I \ - 7,iuld go and see the pistols loaded, and that no advantage should be taken. I did so. Four pistols were loaded with pw,vder and hail. I did not take notice of the pis tols. I saw they were pistols, and I concluded they were_ duelling pistols. The seconds threw up for the choice of ground. The ground was then marked out. The Pis tols acre then loaded close by the box. • Mr. E li°t brought his pistols in, at the. time the pistols were about to be loaded. Mr: Eliot was one of the five. Not knowing- Mr. .Eliot, I asked whether the principal was there, and I was an swered, " yes," I told Mr. Broughton to request Mr. to leave, as he had no busi n e ss th ere w hil e the pistols were being load e d.
